| Living Waters Video Contest |
You could win $1,000
Go out and film witnessing clips; put your best clip up on YouTube.com. Drop us an email linking to it, and if you get first place you will win $1,000. Ten other people will get $100 runner-up prizes.
We are going to put the best clips onto one DVD called "Cream". Then we will take the cream of "Cream" and use it in the Third or Fourth Season of our television program.
So now you have a real reason to take a team and go witnessing with a camera. You can approach strangers and legitimately say, "We have entered a contest put on by a Southern California television production company, and we are asking people what they think happens after someone dies? May we interview you?"
Important:
| 1. Make sure you have good sound. Don't use a cheap microphone, and remember to hold it out for the person you are interviewing (it's easy to forget to do this). We can't use clips with bad sound. |
| 2. Get on-film permission from the person. Ask (on camera) "Can we have permission to use this film on national television?" Make sure you use these exact words, and get footage of them saying a clear "Yes." We can't use it on TV unless we have this. |
| 3. You must use digital video on Mini DV. Also, don't forget to use the zoom. Get up close and personal. Keep the person framed correctly. |
| 4. Make sure you go through the Commandments, present the cross clearly, then repentance and faith. Keep it to about 5 minutes (10 minutes maximum), and PLEASE don't send it to us unless you think that it is a good interview--colorful/interesting. |
Use your imagination. Interview Jews in synagogues, give a psychic a palm-reading (tell her future if she dies in her sins), talk to businessmen in elevators, Mormons on bikes, JW's at the door, rock musicians after a concert, chase down celebrities, interview police officers when they are arresting you for chasing down celebrities. The world is your oyster... this entire lost and dying world. So be prayerful, be creative, and try and stay out of trouble (if something does go wrong, make sure you get it on film).
The contest officially begins on February 14th, 2007, but you can begin filming immediately. Winners will be notified by May 30th, 2007. Make sure you keep the master video in a safe place, because that’s what you will need to send us to collect your prize.
After you have posted the clip on www.youtube.com (after February 14th) remember to email us and give its name (e.g. "Witnessing to Mormon on bike"). Send the details to: Mark@livingwaters.com

We have been delighted with the response to the new board game, “Intelligent Design Versus Evolution.” Please feel free to send the below email promotion all over the internet. Click HERE.
|
Parents: This game is an entertaining way to educate your children about the unscientific nature of evolution. Too many kids from Christian homes have had their faith in the Bible shaken, simply because they have been lied to about the origin of man (ages—12 years and upward, depending on the level of maturity). |
What evolutionists are already saying:
“I don't like it.” |
“You think Bush is bad?? I’ve found something worse… Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort’s board game!” |
“ . . . made me spit my water out.” |
“ . . . a board game by two idiots in North America who are ex-nothings will prove science wrong.” |
“I get the feeling that this game will not be allowed to be sold most places.” |
“I'd love to buy this game, then completely rip apart every ‘brain card’ online with cold, hard data!”
|
| New CD |
 We now have “How to Get on Fire for God” in Spanish. This CD includes a clear salvation message, addressing those who may be trusting in a church, sacraments, or works to save them. |

| Evangelical Church Persecution in Lebanon |
A dear friend of our ministry, who is an Evangelical Lebanese Pastor, alerted us to a tragic story of persecution that is taking place by the Catholic Church against an Evangelical church in Lebanon. We would encourage you to click on the following link and read the full account on the church's website: http://www.cbbclebanon.com/english.html.
If the Lord so prompts you, please feel free to write gracious letters stating your disapproval of this persecution. The following is a list of e-mail addresses for prominent leaders, both in the Lebanese Catholic Church and the Lebanese government:
Bishop Noujaim: gpnjm@yahoo.com (He is the Bishop that is allegedly responsible for the persecution)
Patriarch Sfeir: jtawk@bkerke.org.lb (Head Patriarch of the Catholic Church in Lebanon)
General Mishel Aoun: info@tayyar.org (Politician)
Dr. Geagea: cedars@lebanese-forces.org (Politician)
Please keep our brothers and sisters in prayer.

Maybe You Should Do It
From One of our Staff Members
“After watching, The Nativity Story I leaned over to tell my friend, ‘Someone should open air in this theatre after the movie.’ When she answered, ‘Maybe you should do it,’ I told her I would pray about it even though I knew what the answer was. After the movie ended I had fear running through my body. Seconds were passing… I decided to take the step. My friend stood up and announced, ‘My friend, Lisa here has an announcement to make.’ I stood up and began to share about the reason for the holiday season. I talked about sin, repentance and the gospel, and had the attention of everyone. I heard shouts of ‘Praise the Lord’ and a few claps from the audience. I finished with, ‘There is no greater importance than your eternal salvation . . . thanks for listening.’ I was humbled and loved being a part of what God was doing.” - Lisa Wright
